Do do i ensure email messages deleted on iPhone are also deleted on server

i have been using email on iphone4 extensively. unfortunately, messages deleted on iphone are not deleted on the server (same for gmail) and remain in the inbox (undeleted) when i check into macbook. have checked allknown settings. appreciate solution if any...

I know with my POP mail accounts when I delete on my phone it also deletes from the server. Are these POP or IMAP?
When you say "have checked all known settings" do you mean that in Settings-Mail-Account-Advanced you have selected to "delete from server when deleted from iPhone" and also "Remove Deleted Messages in one day"?
Could it be that you delete the messages from your inbox but never empty your deleted messages folder?
Other than these things it may be a setting that you need to do on your individual email servers as this should work on the iPhone.
Hope this helps.

  • Can't delete an old email message on my iPhone, it also shows 2 new emails that aren't present

    My iPhone shows 2 new email messages in my inbox but there are none. It also has an email from January of 2012 that I can't delete. I think it may be somehow related to sync'ing with my Exchange account but don't know how to resolve. Anyone else have these problems and discover how to resolve them?
    Many thanks,
    -Paul.

    Turn off the Caps lock. That is considered yelling on the Internet and is very rude, plus it is very difficult to read.
    Who is your email provider? It sounds like you have an IMAP account and it is functioning just the way it is supposed to.

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • How do i keep my email messages on my iphone

    how do i keep my email messages on my iphone, every time i open my mobileme account it has to download the emails. this is expensive when i am abroad. can anyone help.

    There's no alternative email program you can use - they all work in the same way. IMAP accounts store mail on the server, there's no way around that. Exchange email accounts work the same way too.
    Even if you used an old-style POP3 email account, the iPhone wouldn't store all email readily accessible offline. The iPhone is designed to be permanently connected to the internet.
    If you're worried about the cost of accessing email over then mobile network when abroad, either limit your use to WiFi networks (and turn off data roaming)  or get a local SIM card and only pay local data rates.

  • Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party.  Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing.

    Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party.  Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing. Any suggestions?

    In which this just gets weirder and weirder...
    I logged onto iCloud.com, signed into my account and created a rule there that emails from my husband's address should be allowed into the inbox. I sent another test msg from him to me and got the New Mail notification sound, the new mail showed up but in a flash disappeared. This happened in the space of about 3 seconds.
    Messages from his email address are not even showing up in the Trash folder. WTH?

  • Email message deletions

    Is it possible to set my Q10 so that, when I delete an email message from the BlackBerry Hub, it won't delete the message from my email server?
    Also, is it possible to set my Q10 so that it automatically sends a bcc email to myself?

    Hopefully BlackBerry will bring this setting back to the device side with a future update. But for now you may be out of luck.

    Using Gmail on the iPad. Is there any way of deleting more than one message at a time?

    If you Sync Mail over iCloud then this may change things.

  • Hotmail/Outlook eMail Messages deleted off of iPhone are not being delted off of server

    I am using the MAIL app on my iPhone to acces my Hotmail/Outlook account. It is set up as a POP3 account. When I delete an email message on the phone, it is never deleted on the server, even though I have the settings in my phone set to delete them from server when removed from Inbox.
    I have not found a clear answer to this issue. Right now I have 10K email messages when I log into my Hotmail

    POP accounts are not reliable for deleting off the server.  Contact Hotmail.  IMAP accounts are what you want.

  • N97 Mini email message deletion

    Evening all,
    All of a sudden I cannot delete email messages that appear on my email account on the phone.  The wifes is all ok,  it's just mine.  When they appear I mark them all and then try and delete and the message "could not delete" appears every time.
    I have installed the latest phone software version last night but to no avail.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Try deleting all your mailboxes and internet access points, and nokia messaging if it's installed. Remove sim and battery, reboot phone without sim, allow to fully boot up. Then re-insert sim and set up a mailbox in the standard email client, hopefully this will work.
    Or try profimail, though you shouldn't have to !
    Good Luck

  • Email message deletion

    How long are email messages stored on server before deleted? Where is control setting for this? It seems that massages only are available in my inbox for approx. two weeks but in sent folder or deleted folder with no time limit?

    My messages stay in the in-box until I delete them!  In the delete box, they will be permanetly deleted after a few days.

  • All of he email messages on my Iphone 4 and my wifes Iphone 3gs mysteriously were deleted this morning.  Why?

    When I checked email this morning, 4/18/2011, all of my saved email messages were gone.  I checked my wifes 3GS this evening, and the same thing had happened.  We both use Comcast email.  Any idea why this happened?

    What is the account type - POP or IMAP?
    Sounds like the account is a POP accout is the sent messages are not available.
    If so, what is the account setting with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client?
    If the email client on your computer is removing messages from the server after being downloaded, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well since the messages are no longer available on the server.
    Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

  • HT2480 email not deleting from server when deleted from ipad

    messages are not being deleted from server when deleted from ipad

    Hello,
    You need to tell us what the email service is. BES? BIS -- and, if so, what email provider? If BES, then see your BES admins. If BIS, then expect it to function in accordance with this KB.
    Otherwise, you can try the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRT
    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
